It's not an unfair speculation, in fact many is the conversation that has been had with the Conservative members that they would be more respected as a local party with someone less abrasive and seemingly egotistical at their helm.
Several names leap to mind, Cllr Hayes and Cllr Roberts for starters, both of whom manage to put their point across in a non-confrontational way and without feeling the need to constantly refer to 13 years of Labour rule or what an awful man that Graham Jones is. I have had many productive committee meetings with Tory councillors but they always seem to get lost in the melee once Peter starts posturing.
Council meetings really don't need to be the war zone they have become under Cllr Britcliffe's watch.
